A touch reveals his secrets. But her first glimpse is of his next victim.

Margot Burnett’s psychic gift is a curse that has left her isolated. She sees the innermost lives of her clients through touch—a secret she guards closely in her serene Santa Monica salon. Her controlled world shatters when a handsome, charming man sits in her chair for a trim.

One touch unleashes a psychic maelstrom.

She doesn’t just see his secrets. She sees his trophies. She sees the "Hollywood Butcher's" soundproofed theatre, the bolted-down steel table, the cages, and the tools of deconstruction. She sees the ghosts of his victims. And she hears his chilling, ever-present mantra: "I am God."

More terrifying, Margot sees the woman he is actively stalking—Ashley Taylor, his next project. When her fear-induced silence leads to Ashley’s inevitable disappearance, Margot’s guilt is crushing. She’s the only one who knows the killer's face.

Her only ally is Detective Milly Flynn, the sharp, pragmatic cop she'''s falling for. But telling Milly the impossible truth could destroy their fragile romance and brand Margot as a lunatic… or an accomplice.

When the killer returns to her salon, bolder and more depraved than before, Margot knows her silence is a death sentence for his next target. Forced to embrace the terrifying power she’s always hidden, she is drawn into a desperate hunt for a monster who hides in plain sight—a hunt that will lead her from the city’s sunlit streets to the absolute darkness of his lair.

Echoes Of A Killer is a dark, gripping, dual-POV psychological thriller. Perfect for fans of Mindhunter and The Silence of the Lambs who love the creeping supernatural dread of Tana French and the dark, female-led relationships of Gillian Flynn's Sharp Objects.
